Ripping CD Question

I recently purchased the Opera La Boheme on London with
Pavarotti. The sound is excellent. I attempted to copy the entire 2 cd's onto Windows Media Player and Real Player making sure that I maintained the lossless compression.
In any case, my goal was to load the entire Cd on Windows or Real Player and then delete what I did not want. In short, I wanted to make a CDR with the arias that I wanted the most. I made the CDr and I've encountered many skips
and errors that were not on the original cds. I tried it three times and three cdr's in the garbage, I figured why not try Exact Copy software which was recommended by other members. The only problem with Exact Copy was that it would only rip the entire Cd and would not let me
delete anything. My goal was to convert the 2 CD original into hit greatest hits if you would. Any help would be appreciated.

I think the problem is that the cd is protected. I had this same issue with several cds. EAC would rip it without any problem but when I listened to the cd I heard a lot of skips like you. I am not sure if there is a way around this. My protected cds will allow me to make digital copies of the tracks but at only a modest bitrate (i.e. not loseless).

Copy the songs to a folder (s) on your hard drive. I just use a desktop folder(s)for this. I delete the contents when I'm done.

Remove anything you don't want (or, keep it all, and then only load the songs you want from the folder (s), into the burner).

I keep my PC music stored on another hard drive, which runs an Linux operating system...both hard drives are on the same computer.

You can use the EAC burner....or, any other burner you like.

Using Sogood51's suggestion, how do I proceed? How do I copy the files to my hard drive using EAC? I know how to do it when I copy to a cd. How do I copy to my hard drive?
Thanks again.
